020: Discovering who you really are - Rikki Arundel

Are you someone who struggles to be who you really are in everyday life? Perhaps you’ve discovered your true self and for many reasons feel this cannot be shared with the outside world? Maybe you’ve opened yourself up to your life choices being accepted and feel that you are judged, bullied and hated on for being who you want to be? 

 

In this episode, we chat with Rikki. Rikki is transgender and openly talks about her experiences from very early childhood. In this episode she specifically opens up about discovering herself, how she got to where she is today and why it’s important we change the stigma on sexual orientation and gender stereotypes. 

 

Best Quote  

‘’When a trans person comes out, they don't just out themselves, they out the family and everybody who is connected. When I came out, around half the people just thought ‘no, no, I don't want that, I don't want to have to explain that I have a brother who is now my sister' etc – and that just put a whole amount of pressure on me.’’
